There's another Excessive Heat Warning for the Las Vegas Valley today, which means another day of "indoor fun." Thankfully I've got another cool disc to keep the blow-drier type assault at bay: Stubborn by French newcomer elodieO. Mix the pop of Paris cafes in the 1960s (think Nico, maybe Marianne Faithful) with easy, down-tempo house flourishes and you've got the start of a truly unique, fresh-sounding platter. Stubborn drops on 8/19, and features appearances from several international artists, including Aaron and Jesse of the Brazilian Girls, The Cure, and French legend Serge Gainsbourg. The hip factor is through the roof on this one.Here's a little taste: elodieO "Cuckoo (Remix)"
